Malmö claimed the Swedish Cup with a 5-1 victory over Lindo in the final on 27 August 2026. The hosts briefly stunned the visitors when J. Milosavljevic fired past the keeper in the 44th minute, but Malmö responded within the first half. V. Bronner equalised five minutes after the break, and the visitors never looked back from there.
Malmö added three more goals in quick succession. O. Rosengren found the net in the 60th minute, B. Kurtulus scored in the 67th, and D. T. Gudjohnsen put the result beyond doubt with a 90+2 minute strike. An own goal in the 90+3rd minute completed the rout. And here's the thing — Lindo had led at half-time, which made the turnaround all the more devastating.
The statistics tell a straightforward story. Malmö controlled 60 per cent of possession and registered 127 attacks compared to Lindo's 71. The visitors took 12 shots on target with five off target, while Lindo managed just one shot on target and three off target. To be fair, Lindo's single goal came from a moment of quality, but they could not sustain any pressure after conceding.
Malmö's recent form had been mixed. They lost 0-3 to Djurgården on 24 August, but beat GAIS 1-0 on 16 August before losing to Degerfors and beating Brommapojkarna. Lindo arrived in the final having lost 0-4 to Studenterna and 0-3 to Norrköping. By then, both sides knew the pressure of a cup final was a different beast entirely.
The final scoreline of 5-1 leaves Malmö with a four-goal advantage in their cup campaign. Lindo's defeat means they finish without silverware despite an early burst of confidence. The goal difference in this match — and the possession gap — suggests Malmö deserved their victory on the day.
